A few "oldies but goodies" I discovered in an ACTFL session presented by my friends Marilyn Barrueta and Bill Heller ...
Cantare Cantaras (American charity single counterpart is We Are the World
*Note: "Band Aid around the world ":
When, back in 1984, Bob Geldof was shell-shocked by the African crisis, he first recorded a single : "Do They Know It's Christmas" with the cream of the English pop artists of the time. This led to a lot of similar charity singles around the world. The Spanish ,French , and American songs detailed above are among them.(from: http://liveaid.free.fr/pages/bandaid.html)

Bullfighting and Matadors
Why not do a unit about bullfighting (very popular in southern France as well as in Spain) with your Spanish colleagues? It can be a stimulating source of discussion and debate. Many ideas and connections are contained on my Tauromachie wiki page , including art, literature , film, music and more. Note that there are separate pages linked therein for the Corrida and additional forms of "bull games" in France. A Day at the Bullfight for French and Spanish Classes
Dessine-moi un taureau ..
(Picasso) De Lascaux à Picasso - L'Art Taurin
Carmen - a French opera, but set in Spain, and linked to the bullfight !
Scène finale - la mort de Carmen
Notez bien le parallèle, grâce au montage des images , entre la corrida et la scène avec Carmen and Don Jose. Comment est-ce que le taureau symbolise Carmen?.
Variations de Carmen - quelques exemples
1. Carmen Jones - C'est l'histoire d'une Carmen américaine...
2.Carmen de Carlos Saura- Une troupe de musiciens et de danseurs s'entraine pour jouer Carmen. Le directeur de la troupe et la danseuse principale vivent de plus en plus l'histoire de Carmen et Don Jose. La scene et la vie se mélangent...Dans ce film, la danse flamenco est extraordinaire; il faut la voir.
Tobacco factory scene
Carmen is the universal "femme fatale" - - a "classic" story that can be told within different frameworks of time and culture. Students could create their own, modern versions of Carmen ...
A few films (not new) that I've recently enjoyed :
Mar Adentro - Trailer
Note that there is a great French movie along the same themes as Mar Adentro:
Le scaphandre et le papillon - trailer (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly)
And a film collaboration (Brazil, France and Italy):
Black Orpheus - Movie Trailer
Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro in Portuguese) is a 1959 film made in Brazil by French director Marcel Camus. It is based on the play Orfeu da Conceição by Vinicius de Moraes, which is an adaptation of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, setting it in the modern context of Rio de Janeiro during the Carnaval. The film was an international co-production between production companies in Brazil, France and Italy.(source=Wikipedia)
Manha de Carnaval -the renowned music by bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim in the film "Black Orpheus"
